Eli and Clare sat in the back seat of Clare's mother's car. Her mother had agreed to pick up and drive Clare and Eli to and from school today because Morty was acting up the night before.
Clare pressed her hand tightly to her mouth, she didn't want to laugh. She was trying not to laugh. But I tiny giggle slipped out of her lips. Eli shot a glare at her from the other side of the back seat.
"What's so funny, Clare?" Helen asked.
Clare smiled. "Nothing mom, just something that happened earlier today, that's all."
Eli rolled his eyes and looked at the window. He regretted telling Clare about the Bullfrog incident. He knew he would never to be able to live it down. Clare looked at Eli and saw how pissed he looked. Clare placed her hand on Eli's. Eli looked away from the window and looked down at their hands. He intertwined their fingers. Clare leaned over and whispered that she was sorry for laughing.
Eli kissed her cheek and whispered that it was okay.
When Mrs. Edwards parked her car in front of Eli's house, Eli thanked her and opened the door. Clare told her mother that she was going to walk Eli to the door and she got out also. Clare walked over to Eli and grabbed his hand. He scratched the back of his head and eyed his front door.
"What's the matter?" Clare asked as they walked towards the door. She ran her thumb back and forth a crossed the back of Eli's hand.
"My dad's home…it's just going to be so fucking awkward." Eli said slowly.
Clare squeezed his hand tightly. "I don't think it will be all that bad, Eli."
When they reached his front door Eli turned to Clare and grabbed her other hand. He kept his voice low so that Clare's mother couldn't hear him. "I sexted my dad, Clare. This is going to be more awkward then the time he…"
"Almost caught you masturbating…" Clare finished his sentence.
"Shh!" Eli said. He took a quick glance at Clare's mom to make sure she hadn't heard Clare. Luckily she was busy talking on the phone.
"I told you not to talk about that ever again." Eli mumbled.
Clare rolled her eyes and let go of Eli's hands, only to place them on his waist. "Well you were the one that brought it up this time…I just finished your statement." Clare said giggling. "You know, your life would be a lot less awkward if you knew how to control you hormones."
Eli raised an eyebrow. "Me control my hormones? Last time I check you were the one that had wet panties during school today."
Clare pushed his shoulder gently and blushed. "That's not fair, you- I was like that because of you…so it's your fault!"
Eli smirked and then cupped her face and kissed her lips. The kiss was soft and sweet. Clare pulled away and smiled up at Eli.
"I think I should leave now." Clare stepped away from Eli and gave him one last smile before she turned around.
"Hey, Blue Eyes?" Eli shouted as Clare walked towards the car. Clare turned around and looked at him. "What is it, Green Eyes?" Clare asked.
Eli chuckled. "Are you busy tonight? I thought that I might stop over and visit for a little while."
Clare arched her eyebrow. "And by visit you mean…"
"Kiss you all over and make you hot and bothered." Eli stated.
Clare blushed again and nodded her head. "I'm not busy tonight." She turned back around and walked to the passenger side of her mother's car. She opened the door and hoped in. Eli watched as the white car drove down the street. Eli turned to his front door and grasped the door knob with his hand. He took a deep breathe and opened up the door and walked in.
Eli pulled off his leather jacket and kicked off his shoes. He tossed them in the hall way closet and walked into the living room. Cece looked up from the book at the resting on her lap and smiled at Eli.
"Hi Baby Boy." She said. Eli sat down on the couch next to her and propped his feet up on the coffee table. "Hey." He mumbled.
"Bad day?" Cece asked. Eli crossed his arms a cross his chest and shrugged. He was surprised that his dad hadn't told his mother about what happened.
"I've had better." He said truthfully. Cece patted Eli's leg. "Well if you want to talk, I'm right here." She said.
Eli nodded his head. He heard heavy footsteps coming down the hall, he figured it was Bullfrog.
"Hey Babe have you seen my gray Dead Hand t-shirt I swear I put it in the bottom-" Bullfrog stopped talking when he entered the living room and saw Eli. "Oh, I didn't know you were home." He said.
"I just got here." Eli said. Bullfrog nodded his head. The room was quiet for a moment. Cece looked back and forth between her son and husband. She felt as though she was missing something.
Eli stood up and broke the silence. "I'm just going to go change." He pulled on the collar of his red polo. He walked past Bullfrog and made his way down the hall and into his room.
Eli turned on his IPod and his room was filled with the sound of screams and guitars. He pulled off his uniform shirt and tossed in onto floor. He stripped himself of his dress pants and tossed them with the uniform shirt. Eli pulled on his acid wash skinny jeans along with a black and white stripped shirt.
Eli moved around his room and hummed to the bass line of the song. The music was so loud he almost didn't hear the knock that came from the other side of his bedroom door. Eli turned down the music and walked over to the door. He opened the door and came face to face with his father.
Eli stepped back and Bullfrog walked his room. Eli inwardly groaned. He knew his father had come to talk about the text message and right now, that was the last thing he wanted to do.
"So uh…" Bullfrog stuffed his hands into his pockets and looked at his son.
Eli nodded his head, unsure of what to do. "Yeah." He answered.
"I'm just going to take a wild guess and say that the text wasn't meant for my eyes." Bullfrog said.
Eli chuckled. "Yes defiantly not for you."
"Good. So are the two of you being safe?" Bullfrog asked.
"Safe?" Eli questioned.
"You know. Are you using protection, condoms?" Bullfrog answered.
"Oh um Clare and I we haven't…gone all the way yet." Eli looked down at his shoes.
Bullfrog laughed. "Well judging on that text you could have fooled me."
"We've done other stuff but we haven't had sex yet. Clare's not ready." Eli said.
Bullfrog smiled and placed a hand on Eli's shoulder. "Well when she's ready, make sure you treat her like a queen. Clare's one special girl."
Eli smirked. "Trust me dad. I know."
Bullfrog sighed. "It's just weird. It feels like yesterday you were starting your first day of kindergarten, and now your 16 and were talking about sex."
"Well I'm not ignorant, dad. I know how to use protection and how to make Clare feel good." Eli said.
Bullfrog smirked. "Well I would hope so, seen as you read your mom's Cosmo magazines."
Eli froze. "I uh, only read those for the-"
"No need to explain." Bullfrog laughed.
Eli scratched the back of his head. Gosh this is awkward. Eli thought
"Okay. So just try not to send me any more of those texts. Really I think I'm scared for life. It's almost as bad of the time I walked in on you masturbating." Bullfrog said.
Eli's eyes widened. "Wait you actually saw me I thought I covered up fast enough."
"That's what I wanted you to think. But don't be embarrassed E, your grandpa walked in on me and your mom-"
"Okay I think this conversation his over with." Eli pointed to his bed room door.
Bullfrog put his hands up in mock surrender. "Alright, Alright. I'm leaving." Bullfrog chuckled as he left the room.
Eli stuck his head out of his room and called after his dad. "And um, Mom, she doesn't need to know about the text message, right?"
Bullfrog nodded. "It will be our secret."
Eli let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you."
"Welcome, Bud. Oh and Morty is in the garage." Bullfrog said before he walked back down the hallway.

Eli leaned against the door jam as he watched Clare dance around her bedroom. Her small radio was playing some pop song and Clare was singing along. She bopped her head to the beat swayed her hips side to side. She hadn't noticed Eli standing in her door frame yet. Eli really didn't want her to see him because he knew she would stop dancing the moment she was him.
When the chorus came on, Clare grabbed her brush off of her desk and sang into it like a microphone. She sung her heart out and Eli couldn't help but notice how beautiful her voice was. Clare did a small turn. When her eyes fell on Eli's she stop dancing and tripped over her own feet. But she caught herself before she fell. Clare turned off the radio and placed her brush back on the desk.
She blushed and ran a hand through her hair. "I didn't see you there." Her words were staggered.
Eli laughed and pushed himself of off the door jam. He walked over to Clare and pulled her into him. He pressed his lips onto hers and kissed her deeply. Clare kissed him back before pulling away.
"Did my mom let you in?" Clare asked.
Eli nodded his head and sat down on Clare's bed.
"Oh. And what happened with your dad? Did you guys talk about the uh text?" Clare asked.
"Yeah we talked. It was awkward, but we talked." He said.
Clare smiled. "Well that's good."
Eli grabbed Clare's hands and pulled her towards him. He lay down on her bed and brought Clare down with him. "I don't want to talk about my dad right now; I want to kiss my beautiful girlfriend." Eli leaned up to kissed Clare but Clare moved her head.
Eli gave her a questioning look.
Clare got up off of Eli and walked over to her door. She shut it tight and locked it before she turned back to Eli. "I never get to lead our make outs. And you always get to make you feel good. But I never get to make you feel good."
Eli shot Clare a smirk. "Then by all means Blue Eyes come over here and make me feel good."
Clare smiled slightly before pulling off her t-shirt and exposing a black lacy bra that Eli had never seen before. She tossed her shirt on the ground and walked over to Eli. She pushed him back so that he laid flat on her bed. She sat down and straddled his hips. Eli propped himself up on his elbows and leaned in to kiss her. Clare pushed him back once again and leaned down to whisper in his ear.
"I'm in control Elijah." She said.
Eli nodded his head and closed his eyes and Clare nibbled on his neck.
